MAQUAPIT LAKE DIARY 1876-1894, from the London Family, concentrates on the Parishes of Sheffield, Sunbury County; Canning and Gagetown, Queens County. Entries include weather, farming, lumbering, teaching, river steamers, trade, social, church and political events, births, deaths and marriages from Grand Lake and along the St John River from Saint John to Woodstock and beyond. Over 230 surnames and 85 place names are discussed at varying levels of details. Also included are an Index and Glossary.

The author's intention is to treat each family as a separate entity. His first goal is to do this for as many as possible of Spurgeon Carpenter’s brothers and sisters and for his parents. When this task is completed he plans to move backward in time doing the same for earlier ancestors. This work is not just intended to be a chronological record of the members of the Carpenter family. Rather, it describes what life was like for each generation being documented.
